PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- If you selected a private insurance plan through HealthSource RI by New Year's Eve, you now have a little more time to pay for it. The deadline has been extended from Monday until Wednesday at 4 p.m.

Monday night, HealthSource RI, the Obamacare marketplace in Rhode Island, sent emails to 2,300 people who had not paid as of Jan. 5 to tell them they had until 4 p.m. on Jan. 8 to pay the first month's premium, and their plans will still be effective retroactive to Jan. 1.

HealthSource RI reported Monday that 11,305 people selected plans as of the Dec. 31 deadline, but not all had paid.
